This July in Fort Worth, there were 23 days with temperatures exceeding 100°F nearly the entire month of extreme heat. Based on my experience working in this area for years, most homeowners use an air conditioner that is almost 15 years old. If you’re one of them, it is costing you big time.
Here’s why that’s a big deal and what you can do to turn things around.
Your old AC Systems Are Costing You (Big Time)
-
Spike in bills: Older 10-SEER* units use up to 80% more power than today’s efficient models. So, if you are using your AC and think you are getting comfort worth $100, you are being hypothetically billed $180.
-
Comfort gap: You can set the thermostat to 72°F, but your rooms will stay muggy, sticky, and uncomfortable, especially during heat waves. This is so common for these old air conditioners.
-
Repair roulette: Old air conditioners break down too often and malfunction every now and then. This will leave you sweating while you are waiting for the repair guys to show up.
How to Fix this Issue?
So, to escape the heat trap, first make up your mind and make the decision to change the AC. My suggestion would be to upgrade to high 18-SEER systems. Trane is the choice for its well-known durability, which fits with Fort Worth’s demand.
With HVAC Services Pro, you don’t even need any extra installation fees. You can save a load and invest completely in your upfront costs, considering they are already the most affordable Trane HVAC provider.
N.B. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently an air conditioner or heat pump cools over a season—the higher the SEER, the more energy-efficient it is.
Why Trane is the Top Pick in Texas Climate
First of all, the weather in Texas is extreme, sometimes it is too high, sometimes it is too lousy. So, any air conditioner has to be built extremely well to stand against this type of weather. There is a reason Texans are always built strong.
Built for Texans
Climatuff compressors: The Climatuff compressor is a key part of the Trane air conditioner. It is the part that pumps the refrigerant through the system to remove heat from your home.
-
This compressor is built to last in very hot temperatures, almost up to 125°F.
-
This compressor is known for being reliable and durable, even in tough weather like Texas.
All-aluminium Spine Fin™ coils: This is a special type of coil that is found in Trane AC units. This coil helps release the heat from your home outside.
-
Made entirely of aluminium, so no rusting like copper coils
-
Has a unique design with many little fins that help it cool more efficiently
-
Stays cleaner in dusty places like Fort Worth, so you’ll get fewer issues and better performance.

Trane vs. Other Brands—Fast Facts
-
Trust Champion. Trane ranks #1 in the 2025 “America’s Most Trusted HVAC Brand” study—its 11th straight win out of 8,856 surveyed homeowners.
-
Fewer Breakdowns. Studies show Trane units need fewer repairs in their first decade compared to other brands. (Most competitor blogs skip hard reliability numbers.)
-
Whisper-Quiet: Variable-speed models such as the XV18 run at 55 dB, making them quieter than an average conversation. Most competitors or typical single-stage AC units can be as high as 60-70 dB.
-
Competitor Noise Reality Check. Industry reviewers list several mainstream two-stage units at 68–70 dB. This is as loud as a vacuum cleaner at five feet.
-
Parts in a Flash. There are Trane parts centers near you, so you can get replacement parts delivered to you the same day.
Why it matters: Trane ACs run more quietly, so you can relax or chat on the porch without loud noise in the background. If something ever goes wrong, replacement parts come quickly, so you’re not stuck in the heat for long. And because Trane is a trusted, top-rated brand, you can feel confident that you’re choosing one of the best.
Dollars & Sense: Financing, Rebates, Warranties
Pay on your timeline. You might be able to get a special payment plan through some banks. If eligible, you may pay no interest for as long as 18 months. The best part is, you don’t have to use your home as collateral.
Stack the give-backs.
-
Utility cash: Oncor has a program that gives money back to homeowners who install new, high-SEER2 air conditioners. The exact amount of money you get depends on how big the system is and how efficient it is.
-
Federal tax credit: You can get a federal tax credit for making your home more energy-efficient. This credit covers 30% of your project cost each year. The maximum you can get back is $600 for a qualifying central air conditioner or $2,000 for a heat pump.
-
Maintenance multiplier: If you get our yearly tune-up for your Trane AC, its warranty stays intact, and it keeps its good SEER rating.
Competitor gap: A lot of AC blogs in Fort Worth talk about “0% financing,” but they don’t tell you about getting money from Oncor or tax credits. That means people miss out on a lot of savings.
